A Hogwart's Story: The Power Of Three

Chapter 3- The Dormitories

~ ~ ~

Nicole and Sera stood up as the other Gryffindor did, the students emptied out into the corridor, there they found Jeanne walking with Draco Malfoy. Sera waved at Jeanne and began to walk over with Nicole when a very tall female prefect blocked their way saying that they must proceed to the dormitories immediately without delay. Sera and Nicole looked at Jeanne, who just smiled and mouthed,

"Let us just meet up later."

The two nodded and waved goodbye to Jeanne as Fred and George walked up to them,

"Come on slowpokes-"

Fred started,

"The Gryffindor Dormitories is that way."

George finished with a smile as he pointed to a long stair case that leads to the next floor. Sera smiled at the  twins and they walked up to the staircase and took a few steps, suddenly the stairs moved, making Sera and Nicole grip at the twin's shirt, Nicole at Fred's chest, while Sera on George's hand. The twins laughed quietly,

"Don't worry, it's alright. The stairs do this all the time."

Fred reassured as he gripped Nicole's hand softly. Nicole blushed brightly and looked away from Fred. Sera and George looked at each other and just smiled. The stair case kept moving until it has stopped in front of a full-body painting of a plump lady sitting on a gray boulder with only a white toga wrapping her body. Her face moved and looked at the students with topaz eyes,

"Password?"

She asked in a melodious voice. Fred stepped up and said,

"Caput Draconic"

The painted lady raised a brow and nodded and swung herself with the canvas revealing a stone tunnel.

"Ladies first."

Fred and George stood at either side of the opening, with Fred on Nicole’s left, or George on Sera's right. Both girls smiled and walked in the short dark passageway.

When they got out Sera and Nicole found a cozy common room, with sofas and armchairs in red, the carpet of the floor was burgundy, two wooden book cases stood between the entrances, filled with fictional and non-fictional books written by well- known wizards and witches. A huge fire place sat in the middle of the far wall, blazing with red, orange and blue flames. There are two stair cases from either side of the fire place, Fred gestured to the right staircase which is carpeted in a darker shade of brown,

"That leads to the Male dormitories-"

"While that one leads to the Female dormitories"

George finished as he gestured the left staircase, which was carpeted in a lighter shade of brown. Sera and Nicole looked on admiring the common room when a female prefect walked up to them,

"Are you Nicole Silverman and Seraphina Vane?"

She asked, Nicole smiled,

"Yes, we are. I am Nicole and this is Sera"

Nicole gestured to Sera who gave the prefect a smile.

"Well, nice to meet you, you two will be dormed with three other girls"

"And they are?"

Sera asked as she tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her left ear, the prefect shifted little and said,

"They are Korelai Gilbertson, Victoria Salvatore and...”

The girl paused, furrowing her brows and said,
